My name's Dave, and I'm an 18-year old who is fascinated by all kinds of diets and eating plans for achieving optimal health. Most recently, I have been exploring the Raw Paleo community, especially those who advocate a diet exclusively composed of raw organ meats and raw suet. I came across Peat about a month ago and decided to take the plunge, and I'm glad that I did.
For the first time in my life, I feel like I have a stable energy profile, although I still experience some degree of fluctuation. At the moment, my goal is to design a diet that is affordable and optimal, while being very minimalist and effortless to maintain. Ideally, I would like to avoid supplements if at all possible, although ergogenics such as caffeine are permissible when needed. I also take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D every other day or so.
My current eating plan is as follows:
1% milk - 1 gallon (1500 calories)
OJ - 48 oz (660 calories)
a single carrot (30 calories)
maple syrup - 3 TBSP (150 calories)
coconut oil - 2 TBSP (230 calories)
gelatin - 2 TBSP (50 calories)
TOTAL: 149g P 383g C 65g F - approx. 2700 calories
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 170 lbs
Activity: Intense weight training x4/week + cardio x1/week
I hit all of the RDA's except for iron (ideal), Vitamin E (acceptable due to low PUFA), Vitamin K (acceptable as RDA is skewed in favor of K1), and niacin (not sure about this one). What is an affordable and easily consumable source of niacin and how does my food plan look like? Should I worry about the tryptophan content of the milk? I'm glad to be a member of the forum, and I hope I can be a resource and also learn from everybody here.
